As Greg mentioned earlier in the week, the web industry is slammed. Everyone I talk to tells it the same — nobody can keep pace with demand.
Outside the industry, that’s called a good problem to have. Inside it, it’s frustrating. As the work becomes less and less mechanical, the effort required to find the right people becomes more and more difficult. The mindset to differentiate between done and done right has become as important as the skill set itself.
We’re losing someone who differentiates. (Jason is going startup mode.) So, once again, we’re experiencing the effort.
Which brings me back to the post at Airbag. Greg’s proposing a simple curriculum could help people *new* in the industry improve. It’s a great idea. Anyone who cares enough about the craft could benefit from something like this. An important side effect would be knowing who really does (care).
Maybe it would make finding the right people a little easier.
